Submit an abstract for the ASH® Meeting on Lymphoma Biology. The deadline to submit is April 29, 2014, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
Urge Congress to find a balanced approach to deficit reduction that does not involve further cuts to biomedical research
ASH, the world's
largest professional society concerned with the causes and treatments of blood
disorders, regularly issues press releases highlighting clinical and research
advances announced at the ASH annual meeting and published
in Blood, as well as releases and statements on breaking policy news
affecting the field of hematology.

To be added to ASH's press release distribution list, contact Kaitlin Bressler at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) took a meaningful step toward helping facilitate more effective and patient-centered communication between primary care doctors and hematologists through a contribution to a new American College of Physicians (ACP) resource. ASH, the world's largest professional society concerned with the causes and treatment of blood disorders, contributed several products to ACP's High Value Care Coordination Toolkit released today and developed collaboratively through ACP's Council of Subspecialty Societies (CSS) and patient advocacy groups.
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released a large and complex
set of data about the number and type of health-care services that individual
physicians and certain other health-care professionals delivered in 2012, and
the amount Medicare paid them for those services. The data, which cover $77 billion
of Medicare Part B Fee-for-Service program payments to 880,000 providers, are intended
to allow the public to identify outliers and patterns in payment.
New research published in Blood further illuminates the heart-healthy benefits of the Mediterranean diet, tying the eating plan to lower levels of platelets and white blood cells, two markers of inflammation.

This is outstanding, but I did make a few modifications: I used homemade whipped cream, fresh brewed coffee instead of from instant, and Angel food cake instead of ladyfingers (because I couldn't find them at my local grocery stores). I actually prefer this to real tiramisu - plus no raw eggs!

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The 2011 Beaune Greves Premier Cru yields a lush, plump, seductively fruity wine of medium body, with supple cherry and raspberry fruit and gentle notes of oak in a balanced, well-knit structure.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "More moderate though far from invisible wood surrounds notes of menthol and cool cherry aromas slides gracefully into supple, vibrant and attractively rich and mineral-driven middle weight flavors that possess a lovely mouth feel thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins. Despite their fine..
Cellar/Tasting Notes
This Premier Cru is an elegant wine, quite full in body with red fruit aromas, spices and vanilla notes.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is one of Louis Latour's flagship reds, a powerful wine, with its dense, solid fruits, big tannins and concentration. Those black plum juices are building up behind a firm layer of dryness."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Pascale Doney" is a new label from Domaine Matrot, named for Thierry Matrot's wife, Pascale. Thierry is the family winemaker, and his 2009 Santentots displays the best of what red Cote de Beaune and Premier Cru Volnay can offer: roses, black cherries, and currants on the nose, and all that plus..
Cellar/Tasting Notes
The 2011 Volnay is a wine of distinction, nobility, finesse and femininity. The aromas compromise a unique bouquet of red berries, violets and vanilla.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The elegant 2011 Pommard is a firm, full bodied red wine that is nevertheless exceptionally round and generous, with a soft, fruity depth of character and a bouquet suggestive of raspberries.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Produced from grapes from young vines, the 2011 La Gerbotte presents with a crisp aroma of warm apricot notes and ripe peach offset with cool' aromas of citrus fruit and salt. Solid structure, with lively energy and a persistent hint of salt.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Pommard Monopoly Premier Cru Clos de la Commaraine is a rich wine, typical of Pommard: masculine, deep, very aromatic.

Pros – Provides a very creative environment with people who have an affinity for such.
Cons – Those that work year round often don't get enough hours and are required to hold multiple jobs. The benefits offered to those who do work enough hours to qualify are measly despite having over 1B in sales annually.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

One of my favorite Paula's Choice products because I can actually see and feel it working on my skin. Very moisturizing, doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry but instead traps in moisture and tingles slightly while cleaning and tightening my pores.
I love Paula and her line of skin care...this toner makes my skin feel awesome and preps it for the rest of my skin care routine. I can tell the difference when I don't use it!
Leaves my face felling clean and soft. Definitely gets off any access makeup from my face. Would for sure but again for myself or as a gift.
I have only been using this toner for about 2 full months, and I love it. I just started using a toner in my skin care regime, believing toners were for teens. Im so glad I found it. Makes my skin come alive.
Best toner I've ever used! It has a light & milky texture and feels so good going on. Skin looks bright and clear after application.
I ordered this after loving the BPA sample I received in my September box. But it doesn't do anything, at least not for me.. Doesn't tone well. Definitely does not reduce oil. I've actually been breaking out a lot more since starting to use it.
It's not a toner - it's more like a milky liquid. OK, my skin doesn't feel tight afterwards, but it also doesn't feel toned.
Same goes for the cleanser I also ordered from Paula's Choice. I've given them both a month to work, and no.
Will not be ordering again from Paula's Choice.
I've been using this toner for at least a year, probably longer. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all, adds moisture but not too much, and definitely helps keep me looking younger than I am. I think this is a must-have for pretty much everyone.

More arrests, in the theft and corruption case involving the Bensalem School District.
Seven people turned themselves in today, bringing the total now to 27. Police say this scheme cost taxpayers more than a million dollars.
Teresa Adams, Richard Bolinski, Stephen Leonardo, Paul Krex, William O'Hara Jr., Bruce Binder, Frances Zemartis.
They're the latest arrests in an 18-month-long investigation into the Bensalem Township School District.
"Some of these individuals were filling up gas cans and taking out for personal use," says Fred Harran of the Bensalem Township Police Department.
Police say that the gas theft went on for more than five years, totaling more than $35,000.
"Another individual was also getting automotive supplies from the district for own personal vehicles as well as other items," Harran adds.
And there was also a custodian accused of stealing anything that was nailed down.
"She was taking stuffed animals, school supplies, lamp filing cabinets. If she could walk out the door with it, she walked out the door with it," describes Harran.
This is all on top of what police revealed from the other 20 arrests back in February, the so-called "ghost employees" who they say never showed up for work. Managers looked the other way and got paid anyway. There was also the $500,000 in theft from the bus garage.
But a relative of one of the suspects, who asked we not identify her, says her loved one was unfairly targeted.
"These guys still have their jobs and I think the ones who were fired are coming after these guys," she says. "Now he's got to worry about a lawyer. He's got a family to keep a home to keep. It's just not fair."
And those arrested today were charged with theft and conspiracy. Meanwhile, the 20 people arrested in February took plea deals and were sentenced to community service and ordered to pay restitution.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Great location, great pool, nice room. I would give it a 4 star.
1. The bathroom sink was across from the closet instead of in the bathroom. I prefer all of the bathroom components be enclosed so you don't wake anyone using the sink. 2. We needed a plunger and they took forever. 3.We had to pay for parking.It was nicer than we expected. It was definitely a great deal. Pool area was really nice.

The check in guy had the personality of a wet mop. He refused to give me extra blankets and not good to travel to with a baby.So when checking in the guy was so bland. I asked him for few extra blankets because I had a toddler and baby and I didn't have a playpen. He told me to use the two blankets in the room but I couldn't have anymore. Getting my 5 month old to sleep was terrible so I went back to ask for a play pen... they don't have those. Then I asked for a cot. It was an extra 10$ and they didnt have one.. they charge you 2.95 when you check in too.. don't ask for what the breakfast is okay if you don't mind waiting forever and not ever finding a seat. I would not reccomend.. ... more

The SBDC's ability to partner has proved worthwhile in the academic colleges as partnering with the College of Extended Learning provided 68 seminars/workshops and 23 Legal Clinics for Entrepreneurs. Nolan's work has allowed MBA students access to consulting opportunities (two of his consultants are Minnesota State, Mankato MBA students). Additionally, undergraduates at Minnesota State, Mankato have access to one-on-one consulting on business plans and research projects. The addition of this center on campus has truly provided the range of opportunities students and the surrounding business community both seek and need. Recently, the SBDC launched a new website which can be found at www.myminnesotabusiness.com. Small Business - BIG Ideas…Real World Thinking.
As the Director of Strategic Partnerships, Ann Goebel oversees the outreach arm of the division. The past few months have been spent, as Ann describes, "visiting communities in southern Minnesota, listening, and creating responses the Minnesota State University, Mankato can provide." The sweep has stopped at the communities of Fairmont, Albert Lea, Owatonna, New Prague and will be visiting Faribault soon. Blue Earth, Frost, Edgerton, Waseca and New Ulm have also shown interest and Strategic Partnerships is looking to expand with more partners in those communities.
The focus of the Southern Sweep, the Wheelhouse, hits a variety of mediums: internship & co-op opportunities, applied projects, diversity opportunities, online options, degree completion, and developing more articulation with our two-year partners, to name a few. "Not everything happens under the roof at Mankato and Edina," says Goebel. She says the goal of this project is "to be recognized as more of a community asset in our southern Minnesota region for the purpose of economic growth." Students of Minnesota State, Mankato see these opportunities as a means to strengthen the transition from college to the working economy. The key outcome is to find the best way to build a consistent relationship with each community on a monthly or quarterly basis.
The goal of the division reorganization is to grow enrollment by reaching new audiences. As Dr. Hoffman says, we need to "skate to where the puck is going." Minnesota State University, Mankato truly is preparing to be the partner of choice for southern Minnesota. And the reorganization allows the division to move quicker to connect the tremendous value embedded in the University to the changing needs of tomorrow's economy. The value comes in a myriad of forms, although technology, faculty research, information exchange with interdisciplinary depth, entrepreneurial opportunities, new jobs, and talent development top the list.
With the College of Extended Learning, the University can continue to increase the focus on the professional development of a skilled workforce, including both the continued development of the incumbent workforce and the increased development of our traditional learners. Additionally, both the certificate driven programs and the not-for-credit programs will be grouped independently to allow further flexibility and a greater intensity within the division. Quality Matters, an initiative to design a rubric for online courses, is also included with Strategic Partnerships, reinforcing the emphasis on creating an environment of excellence for distance and online learners.
Dr. Hoffman's team has established a set of guiding principles which position the division to be agile, competitive, adaptive, and responsive allowing the University to educate—both creating and disseminating knowledge. We are excited to see where the puck goes next—because Minnesota State University, Mankato will be there.

While we're on the subject, does anyone remember those ads for the Olsen twins' movie "Holiday in the Sun" that used "Island in the Sun" as their soundtrack? Blech.
I can't keep making excuses for Weezer. This is deplorable! I hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE being marketed to! That's a big part of the reason I left facebook!

Hi Yolanda….You are the best.
Hi all and welcome to my blog!
I'm very excited for you guys to be a part of my first foray into the Real Housewives world. Joining this group of women is going to be quite an adventure but I'm always up for a challenge. Besides, I'm a Capricorn and as such, I'm supposedly well suited to finding my true place within pre-existing social orders. How convenient. . .
I think my background is a little bit different than most of the ladies'; I was born in Papendrecht, Holland, which when I was growing up, was a tiny Dutch farm town with a population of 5,000. Milking cows and riding horses was my life and still today, I love going to the barn with my daughters. I grow flowers, fruits, and vegetables and love to be outdoors working in my gardens. I might live in Malibu but I still maintain a strong connection to my rural roots in Holland.
My opening scene, which features some early morning lemon picking, is so telling of this. I have this need to always be active. Evidently, I entered the workforce at age 13, scrubbing dishes in a Chinese restaurant to help pay for my horse passion. And when modeling started (a completely accidental career change), I knew if I gave it my all I would be able to provide for my family and maybe one day come back and own the horses I dreamed of having my whole life. I had limitless opportunities to become financially independent, experience new things like traveling the world and meet amazing new people along the way. I consider myself blessed to have had so much good fortune in life. I try and live each day taking nothing for granted.
Hi Yolanda….You are the best.
I love it . You are such a YOLANDA :)
We would love to see more of your horses and hear about your riding! Please share!
Greeting Yolanda, Would you be so kind to share the set of instructions for preparing the lemon drink. Thank you and I truly love this show!
Enjoying watching you on the show, Yolanda! You've brought a nice element to this group of ladies.
I have tried to find your website, "hopelessly romantic". Is it "Hopelessly Romantic"? Or hopelesslyromantic.com? What is the actual address?
thank you...
I agree with peshett, Yolanda you are a welcome lady to all of the Housewives francise! Finally a classy woman that actually has manners! How refreshing! I've been known to say I watch the Housewives to feel better about myself, because I would never act that way, especially in public! Now I have a new housewife to watch. I also cook, garden big time and decorate. Now if I could just get exercising like her. Welcome, Yolanda!
Fnally a housewife with passion,integrity, class and beauty "Yolanda' Hopefully they can learn from you ! if nothing else at least the Class part!!
Absolutely disgraceful!
And I was so looking forward to seeing a new "Housewife".
Ignorance is common among you lot.
Being foreign especially does NOT excuse you from making the "Chinese eye" comment. The "reasonings" you provided on why you do not want your daughter's eyes to look Chinese show that you FULLY understand that you are making a general remark about a particular ethnic group's facial structure. It is offensive to hear even for a listener/viewer who did not grow up in this country, is not Chinese, and may not appreciate the racism associated with a mere phrase such as "Chinese eye." Your "reasonings" really give it all away. It was a complete turn off for me and I hope you can refrain from making statements like that on national TV despite how you truly feel.
I also was dismayed at the tasteless comment made in regards to your daughter's eyes and how it's not good for them to look Chinese and small. Critiquing eyes and judging them small is one thing but when you tag an Ethnic group with that negative vibe it's tacky and sounds racist. Granted most of these women are out of touch with the Real World for the everyday American but I watch this show for entertainment. I don't wanna watch and be reminded.just how out of touch.and.bigoted these ladies are!
How tacky you were today on the show. I'm sure classless sayings will come out of a classless lady. Either you are a racist or you are an uneducated model who married a successful man. Get off your high horse.
Unbelievable comment made by Yolanda. You assume you are a great role "model" to your daughter. But all I see is you teaching youre daughter how to be a racist. Very disappointed and NOT a fan. I wish your daughter success in her modeling career. So she can pay for you to take a few courses on the Asian culture. (~_~)
"Chinese eyes" ?? Did you REALLY just say that?
Racist...the word to described this has been. Chinese eyes?! I'm so sorry you don't like Asians Ms. Mail Order Bride!
I just saw tonight's episode where you are with your daughter at her photo shot and was absolutely appalled at the comment you made about how it's not good to have eyes 'go the chinese way.' Just can't believe how someone who labels herself as someone who is worldly and cultured can make such a racist comment. Whether or not you meant it in a negative way, you are on TV. You should have more tact than that, even if you are racist you should keep that private.
You are a breath of fresh air! I especially like that you are capable of having a drink that doesn't contain alcohol. You are the sort of woman with whom Kim needs to spend as much time as possible. Welcome!
You are a beautiful woman with lovely hobbies and a wonderful family. Hoping you don't turn out to be a mean girl. Keep it classy. I'm liking you alot.
It takes time for a housewife to find her place and her voice in these shows. Today, I'm wishing you well. After a half dozen episodes, maybe not? LOL
I am unfamiliar with Southern California geography. Is Malibu a suburb of Beverly Hills?
Don't you have to actually live in BH to be a cast member? Yolanda, you seem nice enough at first glance. (BTW: You remind me of Brigitte Nielson.) I hope you find your new adventure on this show to be worth losing your privacy over. Here's a tip: stay far from Shana (er, Taylor), Kyle and your water buddy, Kim. They're all bad news and will drag your sunny outlook into the gutter.
Welcome to the series. I'm glad u seemed to understand that
Brandi wasn't saying "you" had slept with everyone in Hollywood, just that it was such a small place that everyone seemed to end up sleeping with everyone else.
You need to take Kyle's and Kim's friendship with a grain of salt. Understand that Lisa and Brandi too will be true friends to you. As for Taylor, all I can say is beware. She's a viper. Adriene, seems be a bit hypocritical.
Yolanda, welcome aboard the RHOBH bandwagon, I think you're going to be a fantastic addition, I really like you. As worldly, successful and overall blessed in life as you are, you also seem very grateful and down to earth with old fashion values and morals. I know Bravo thinks we like the drama and provokes it relentlessly, I think the viewers actually enjoy "normal and nice" blended in with your delicious wealth. That's what I hope to see from you this year and you're off to a great start. Your kindness and unconditional acceptance towards Kim is refreshing. Your ability to see Brandi for exactly who she is, i.e., a sweetheart with a wicked sense of humor, is right on. Lisa is another gem. The rest? Stay away..... There, you've been warned, lol.
When Brandi said "Everyone slept with everyone," you interpreted it like a typical, judgmental Housewife of BRAVO. You're already looking like a carbon copy of the other judgmental, catty women. It was evident she was joking.
I hope that you aren't going to add to the fire this season. One the other hand, how boring the show would be if you women weren't arrogant, superficial and materialistic.
Love you and your caring spirit toward everyone. I'm a fan of your husband and I enjoyed seeing the loving side of your relationship. Watch out for Taylor, she's not at all what she tries to put out there. Brandi is a tease but is a true friend to those who don't bully her. You were right, these women have a lot of drama surrounding them, and the one who tries to fill you in regarding these women holds the most drama in the group.
i really like Yolanda!! Typical dutch: down to earth, both feet on the ground, nice and kind! but we dont have to mistake that kindness for weakness!! she can hold her own!! she is from the Rotterdam region, and those people are straight shooters! but have very big hearts!!
dont let the girls mess with you! good luck!
Hello Yolanda, love your home and garden. And you have beautiful children. I have two sons and they are older but I still think of my children as babies like you and they are my life also. You are stunning and must have had wonderful times modeling. You seem very warm and sincere. These shows are weird it's like if your not having major drama your boring or if you are having major drama with someone you get hateful comments. Such a strange entertainment show. Good luck and take to heart that old saying believe nothing you hear and half of what you see.
Hi Yolanda! You seem so down to earth, thoughtful and smart! So happy to see you and Kim connect. She really has been broken, and she seems drawn to you , and its so nice for you to befriend her right away..I noticed you understood the dynamic between Kim and Kyle, Kyle pretends to be Kim's biggest fan, but is actually her biggest critic. Kyle doesn't seem to get it.. Can't wait to see more of you!! xoxo
It looks as if you have lived in all different walks of life. You seem to be a beautiful person inside and out. All I can say is "get tough skin" lol. Brandi and Kyle are hands down are my favorite housewives. Brandi may seem to be tough and out spoken but, in my opinion she is a teddy bear and also jokes alot. Kyle is the "peace maker" and really loves her family and friends. I can't wait to see you this season..GOOD LUCK..lol!!
a little advise for you, Yolanda, don't try to figure out those 2 sisters, they will come together and turn against you in 2 seconds flat!
I agree with another blogger....the jury is still out. There is something about you that I see as contradicting and I cannot figure out exactly what it is. Before I read your blog I knew what I was going to say and now it seems rather ironic what you wrote, because to me it seems you wish to appear humble, but you might actually be arrogant.....and now in your blog you write all of this humbling stuff, but in watching you it appears you internally believe you are better than everyone else. I hope that I am wrong and that you are genuine, this is why the jury is still out with me.....as well.
I really like you and your class. Please stay that way and don't let the other ladies influence you!
Oh Yolanda what a dear person you are. It sounds like you have the necessary resources to keep the drama of the show to a minimum. Your life is full and we appreciate your kindness in sharing it with us. I so look forward to you and your family in next weeks show...till then.
Yolanda welcome to the jungle. You make a very good first impression; I like how kind you were to Kim as well as how comfortable you seemed to be in this complicated group. I suspect you will be a fabulous addition to the show.
The jury is still out on you. I'm not interested in watching another woman with a big house sit around the house picking flowers and veggies out of her garden or going to lunch everyday. I hope there is more substance b/c thus far you are BORING!
The other ladies need to teach you how its done.
Youre stunning! And your house is beautiful. Cant wait for this season!
You are stunningly statue-esque!...but I think you were a bit naive/foolish to not watch this TV show before joining! I just hope these women don't eat you up alive!
I remember your modeling days, gorgeous!
You are stunning - I like the warmth you showed Kim. Kim and Kyle can learn from you on how to welcome someone and make others feel comfortable by extending yourself. Bravo to you for using your blog to clarifying your take on Brandi's innocuous comment of everyone sleeps with everyone - Beverly Hills is as much of as small town as most in that regard.
Taylor missed her opportunity to address her nasty comments towards Brandi in her blog - but looking at the previews you have Taylor's number enough to call her an asshole - you won me over because you you are both elegant and hold your own once you get pushed - which puts you in the ranks of Lisa and Brandi. Glad you joined the cast.
@understated Oh come on!! This was a good blog, I didnt have a chance to read when it was posted. I have a great deal more respect for Yolanda after reading this blog. I have to admit I was quite taken aback watching her at GiGi's photo shoot. BTW, when at the photo shoot, I immediately recognized GiGi from ad campaigns.GiGi is already very successful in her own right. She has what it takes to be a super model. That is for sure.
@Solomonsmom Yolanda was educated in Holland. Which has a better system than America. Kids there graduate high school at 13 in Holland.
@bebe80 I was appalled as well. Yuck.
@dobnerk When Yolanda recounted Brandi's comment, she did say, "It was a joke!" It's just that Kyle & co. were cackling too loud to hear it. They were the judgmental ones.
@spicymango Oh Dear, I think you are so enamored with the "idea" of Kyle that you don't want to acknowledge the truth, even to yourself. I'm definitely intrigued with her but can spot a manipulator when I see one. Funny how she's managed to be hideous to each woman and yet still be called a "peacemaker" Go figure!
@spicymango I think you got 1 out of 2 right. Brandi is fun while Kyle is a trouble making, attention seeking, bully.
"Kyle is the peace maker."?????!!!!! You haven't watched seasons past have you?
@shysharon I think I've figured out the Richards Sisters. They are continually auditioning for "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" They're both just waiting for that big break to return to their former glory days.
Yolanda did not misspeak, in fact she said it a second time when her daughter had begun the shoot. @divauta misspeaking is often a case where someone quickly come to realize the mistake is made and corrects themselves accordingly. In this case, Yolanda meant what she said and I was to say the least disappointed. This comment made me feel like we just got set back another 50 years.
Yes I have watched the shows from the beginning In my opinion Kyle is a "peace maker" she generally tries and keep out of the drama and that is a hard thing to do with these women. She is loyal ,kind and does and tries to protect her sister and friends.
I guess that we can agree to disagree.
@linna.chen @divauta @bebe80 A very disrespectful statement. I believe she meant what she said as well. Reading this blog after watching the episode makes me wonder why she mentioned her first job was scrubbing dishes at a Chinese restaurant. She has obviously been around Chinese people before and has travelled the world. Not innocent. Racist comments.

Molybdenum Disulfide
Reviewed By:

I've yet to acquire this product, but I will on my next order. I have used a similar product for years from one manufacturer, but they discontinued the product... it was called Molyslip. The advantages of this product can't be understated. M0S2 has an affinity for steel in that it plates itself onto the engine components that it is exposed to. It has very high shear strength. To the lay person this means it can withstand high heat and mechanical wear. The obvious benefit is that it reduces wear tremendously, especially between the cylinder walls and the piston rings, thus preserving engine wear. This in turn reduces any engine oil consumption to the barest minimum...at least in my experience. I have been using M0S2 for years in various cars and I can attest to it's abilities. I always use it with every oil change. R.M.

When you're carried by the fast flow of time's passage, it's difficult to veer into an eddy for a breather. But now more than ever, as a parent of a baby-turning-toddler, I feel I've got to make the effort to sit on life's sidelines once in a while – if for no other reason than to marvel at this precocious little creature that was once nothing more than a vague shape on the horizon.
It being the beginning of a new year, I suppose I've been thinking more about time's passage than usual. It's also because I'm the parent of a 10-and-a-half month old, who recently started playing pat-a-cake, pulling her socks off, watching Baby Einstein DVDs, and pretend coughing. (Me: "Oh, does Elle have a bad cough?" Elle: "cough-cough." Me: "Ooh, that's a bad cough!" Elle (with dramatic flourish): "Cough-cough-cough!")
These may seem like inconsequential milestones, but if marked by pushpins on the timeline of Elle's life thus far they represent a very busy year one. In fact, there is a rapidly expanding cluster of development markers crammed into the final third of my daughter's first year, and it freaks me out. It wasn't so long ago that we were celebrating Elle being able to heave herself onto her tummy (now she walks), or starting to coo (she is currently in what Craig calls a "finding her voice" stage, which includes screeching at varying decibel levels), or smiling for the first time (she is now a giggle monster, particularly before bedtime).
It all went by so fast. I no longer have a tiny baby. She's more like a little girl, who does little girl things like blow kisses and hug teddy bears. And I have to wonder, looking back on all that she has accomplished in the past 10 months: Have I appreciated parenthood enough?
When a baby is new, everything is a big deal. A burp is a big deal. A dirty diaper is a big deal. Then you grow accustomed to the fact that the belly bump has indeed turned into a human being, who inevitably poops and burps. You accept that she really is just a small person, and not some ephemeral pixie whose every move is cause for jaw-dropping amazement. Slowly but surely life begins to feel less inside-out and more back to normal, as normal as life can be with a child who likes to eat dog food, rub mashed potatoes into her hair and pull every tissue, one by one, out of the box.
A routine emerges, in which a day is divided into pre- and post-nap segments. Those days shuffle by like a slideshow in fast-forward. In one frame, I'm dressing Elodie for a trip to the farmers market. I'm pulling a T-shirt decorated with a carrot-eating bunny rabbit over her head. Just a few frames later I'm gingerly folding that T-shirt into a box that will go into the attic, trying to imagine Elle being small enough to fit into it.
Babies have a way of shining a spotlight on the passage of time. Their almost daily successes and discoveries and accomplishments serve to remind parents that this phase of child rearing – babyhood – only lasts but a short, short while. And during much of that time, you're sleep-deprived and over-worked and feel like you can never get all the things you need to do done.
So be it.
While I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, I have resolved to readjust my relationship with time in 2009. I can't stop its march forward, but I hope to at least move out of the fast lane occasionally to watch my daughter grow. When I turn off the news and shut down the computer, leave the dirty dishes in the sink for later and just sit with Elodie, I become happily marooned in an eddy of time. It never lasts, because the phone rings or the pasta's done cooking, but it's nevertheless a refreshing break from the future's steady onslaught.
Sitting cross-legged on the floor across from my daughter, who has just realized that those little wooden shapes actually fit into the puzzle, I'm struck with awe for this little person – whose every move is cause for jaw-dropping amazement.

Europe is still showing a rebound as the data continues to improve. The turnaround in European manufacturing has spread from Germany to Switzerland, France and Italy. Sadly, our readings on the Greek economy remain awful. Greece must keep getting support from its larger European Union sister states.
India's infrastructure build-out has started gaining steam again and we are seeing some positive signs out of the Chinese consumer. A turn in China would be extremely beneficial to the world, especially Latin America. Latin America has already started seeing some benefits from the jump in industrial and copper demand. Even Argentina's consumer has started to show life recently.
We are seeing a fragmented recovery out of the United States. Housing is definitely leading the charge, which bodes well for the long-term strength of the overall economy. Real Estate is helping a number of other industries with its rise, including home furnishings, basic materials, industrial equipment and specialized tools.
Meanwhile, the hotel industry is also seeing increased demand, as are casinos, which is having a positive affect on gaming. General leisure spending in the US is increasing significantly in a number of areas, including recreational vehicles and sporting goods. On the negative side, we continue to remain skeptical of US Government debt and we would prefer to look towards a higher paying Ohio or California municipal debt and corporate debt from the financial sector.

by Jessica Mason McFadden
When it comes to coming out, I've been there, done that, probably hundreds of times. To me, there's nothing to it. I'm one of the least closeted people you will ever meet. My erotic identity is as much a part of my representative identity as is my name, age, hometown, or date of birth. If you meet me, you'll meet it. Except I won't call it "It" – I'll give it a name.
Hi. I'm Jess. I'm twenty-eight, I live in the Midwestern United States, I am a graduate student, I am one of two mothers of two precious daughters, I'm a poet, and if I could I would carry a basil plant in my purse. Yep, I said two mothers. I'm a lesbian.
That's right: sometimes I have to repeat myself or clarify the two-mothers detail. Does it always feel good and liberating to out myself on someone who isn't expecting it? No, not always. Sometimes I get that twisted, bewildered expression in response. Or, worse, a total lack of comprehension. Most of the time, however, this beautiful part of myself slides out as naturally as would any other. Who doesn't like sharing a joyful and important part of their lives with people they meet? I hear about other people's spouses and kids all the time. I have the same inclination to spread the love.
And the thing is, most people have this inclination: to be oneself and share oneself freely. We're born ready to be led by our inclinations as we form or take apart our identities. So what happens? Why do so many of us, whether we identify as asexual, bisexual, polyamorous, homoromantic or queer, experience discomfort and fear when it comes to sharing? Because so many of us are taught at a young age that we must fit in some small identity box or another in order to be accepted and loved. And who doesn't want to be loved? But even more than that, who doesn't want to be herself, to roam happily and freely and not have to fear ridicule, rejection or harm?
Everything I have shared here is what you already know – it calls upon the common sense within you. We just want to be ourselves, move at our own paces and be accepted. Simple enough, right?
Unfortunately, as humans, we're far more complicated and far too contradictory for that. It seems, instead, that we're more often than not conflicted, anxious or divided when it comes to, well, most anything. And in particular when it comes to human sexuality – orientation, identity, and choice. Heck, we're so spread all over the place that we're even opinionated and divided about the timing and manner in which someone, one single person, comes out of the closet. Since when did we ever judge a white, male heterosexual for the way in which he shared his heterosexuality? I don't seem to recall any news coverage on that issue.
I do, however, know about social media news coverage on the issue of Jodie Foster's Golden Globe moment of ??? Of what? Of Glory? Of Relief? Of WellIt'sTheHellAboutTime? I'm sure we can come up with several thousand labels for it.
Twitter and Facebook were loaded with opinions and responses. Even I chimed (no, Tweeted) in with a heartfelt but bogus public pat on the back for Ms. Foster. Like she needed my approval. Even if she did, the larger question is: why it was that I needed to give it to her? Read more

(Ottawa) December 22, 2008- Library and Archives Canada is pleased to announce that its partner, the National Archives of Ireland, has launched the next important phase of an online census research tool for the Irish counties of Antrim, Kerry, and Down for 1911. The census records for all counties for 1911 and for 1901 will be made available online throughout 2009.
Library and Archives Canada signed an agreement with the National Archives of Ireland in December 2005 and the two institutions have been working to make the censuses of Ireland for 1901 and 1911 accessible online, free of charge. Library and Archives Canada's contribution included digitizing microfilm reels, linking images to the database and making the records searchable by name.
"With 70 million Irish diaspora around the world, and up to one-fifth of Canadians claiming Irish heritage, this project will connect even more people to their historical roots," stated Ian E. Wilson, Librarian and Archivist of Canada.
Making these records accessible online will give genealogists and historians around the world the chance to explore the age, occupation, religion and marital status of individuals. It will also allow research on Irish society of the early 20th century. The National Archives of Ireland have provided vibrant historical essays on topics such as social life, government, sport and religion and photographs depicting life in Ireland in 1911.
Library and Archives Canada and the National Archives of Ireland collaborated on other projects including the popular website The Shamrock and the Maple Leaf: Irish-Canadian Documentary Heritage at Library and Archives Canada and two Irish studies symposia were held in Ottawa in 2006 and 2008. There will be additional phases added to the census online in the coming year.
